Performance of cementless binders produced from industrial waste products in strong acid
There is a growing demand for alternative low carbon binders. For these relatively new binder systems to be well received in industry it is important that detailed understanding of their durability performance is available. This paper investigates the hydrochloric acid resistance of geopolymer binde...
